ARMENIAN, GERMAN PARLIAMENT SPEAKERS DISCUSS BILATERAL TIES
17:10 ~U 07.10.13
Different aspects of the German-Armenian relations were discussed at
recent talks between the speaker of Armenia's National Assembly, Hovik
Abrahamyan and the President of the German Bundestag Norbert Lammert
Meeting in Yerevan on Monday, the two officials talked of
bilateral cooperation, highlighting the importance of deepening
inter-parliamentary ties. They addressed the latest developments
in the region and a range of issues of mutual interest, reports the
National Assembly's press office.
Abrahamyan congratulated the German senior parliamentarian on
Chancellor Angela Merkel-led Christian-Democratic Party's victory in
the September 22 elections in the country.
He highly praised the current level of the German-Armenian relations,
noting that Armenia is highly interested to develop them further in
both bilateral and multilateral formats.
Abrahamyan said that Armenia will keep remaining committed to
European values and principles in an effort to expand and deepen the
institutional reforms processes aimed at the continuous strengthening
of democracy, human rights and rule of law.
He told the German official that the country has always been open
to cooperation on different international platforms, supporting
integration processes based on its strategic interests.
Emphasizing the importance of the Bundestag-sponsored International
Parliamentary Scholarship program (which offers the Armenian youth
a good opportunity to get familiarized with Germany's political and
economic process), Abrahamyan said that Armenia's parliament too,
is willing to receive two foreign students beginning next year to
enable them to get better familiarized with the political and economic
system of Armenia.
For his part, Mr Lammert also stressed the importance of deepening the
inter-parliamentary ties and strengthening cooperation in different
sectors.
He expressed the German side's interest to develop bilateral-relations
in different sectors, saying that the recent developments (the plans
for membership in the Eurasian Customs Union) in the country have
not decreased Germany's interest in Armenia.
The Bundestag president noted that a steadier development of
democratic process will promote a more dynamic progress in the
EU-Armenia relations in future.
At the end of the meeting, Abrahamyan invited Lammert to Armenia on
an official visit.
